[PATCH] ata: Replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy in it821x_display_disk

[PATCH] ata: Replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy in it821x_display_disk

[Thorsten Blum]

strcpy() is deprecated; use strscpy() instead.

Replace the hard-coded buffer size 8 with sizeof(mbuf) when using
snprintf() while we're at it.

Note: the patch title should be:

ata: pata_it821x: Replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy in it821x_display_disk

Niklas can fix that when applying I think.
